frances War Pigeons.

Gen. Boulanger has recently given
prizes to the best trainers of carrier pig
cons in. the department of the Seine.
Pigeon training in France has become a
branch of the military service, and plenty
of well trained birds are to be found in
the costly and beautiful little establish
ments that have been built for them.
They are furnished with modern i'm
provements and luxuries that vulgar and
ignorant pigeons. could never appreciate.
Among the pigeons now in the possession
of the government are several veterans OF
the siege of Paris, and one among them
is genuine old hero. In 1870 this bird
was taken up in the Paris balloon called
the Niepce, and was captured by the
Prussians. Prince Frederick Charles sent
him as present to his mother, the Prin-
cess Charles of Prussia, who put him
among her own collection of birds, where
he was treated with all possible kindness.
But he was a patriot. The bitter bread
of exile did not agree with him. He flew
away and reached his home in a pigeon
house in the Boulevard Chchy. The own
err of this establishment handed him
over to the military authorities, and he is
now once more in the service of his ma
tive country, and doubtless hopes to win
additional glory in the future. New York

rhs Game Of "KAt-Knuppcllen.s

Some of the amusements enjoyed by the
descendants of the ''water geuzen" or
rather barous, and chief among them
stands the play of Kat knuppellen.' . It
is to be met with in the halnlets around
Amsterdam. Two poles about sixteen
feet high are placed twenty feet apart;
new barrel has two holes bored into the
heads, and rope is put through the holes
and attached to the top of the poles, al
lowing the barrel to swing about twelve
feet from tho ground Before. placing
the barrel in this swinging position, alive
cat is put into it. Now the amusement
commences. Twenty or thirty sturdy
beers pay the innkeeper@ins front of
whose hostelry the ''kat-knuppellen"
takes place-a certain entry fee, sgener-
ally five Dutch cents. They take their
position about fifty feet from the SWING
ing barrel, armed with clubs shaped
something like an American base ball i'm.
plernent; every man draws a number and
then proceeds according to enumeration to
sling his club at the barrel. The man
who hits the barrel with such force AZ to
break it and allow the imprisoned cat to
escape receives half the money paid by
the participants, and the one who throws
the club with strength sufficient to
cause the last piece Of wood to fall from
the rope is paid half of the remaining
money, the rest going to the tavern
keeper. The terrified cries OF the inn
prisoned cat before escape is possible can
better be imagined than described. and
provides unlimited enjoyment for the
hundreds of spectators. --AmsterdaI Let

his body to the grave.

'sMr. Walter Herrick, who has been
missed at the Apollo club for the last few
days, is out again, though still compelled
to carry his arm in sling. He slipped

nights since and sprained his wrist

Not far from this among the society
notes were the lines:
Miss Helen Harpleigh, one of the
most charming of the ladies who enliven
the social season for a month or two each
year, has gone back to Washington and
will not return this season"
There were also few lines devoted to
Harry's death and burial.

People speak about their eyes being
tired, meaning that the retina or seeing
portion OF the eye is fatigued, but such
is not the case, as the retina hardly ever
gets tired. The fatigue Is In the inner
and other muscles attached to the eyeball
and the muscle of accommodation, which
surrounds the lens of the eye. When q
near object is to be looked at this muscle
reIaxes and allows the lens to thicken, in
creasing its retroactive power. The inner
and outer muscles are used in covering
thu eye on the object to be looked at, the
inner one being especially used when q
rear object is looked of. It is in the
three muscles mentioned that the fatigue
is felt, and relief is secured Temporarily
by closing the eyes or gazing at far dis
tant objects. The usual Indication Of
strain is redness of the rim of the eyelid,
betokening a congested state of the inner
surface, accompanied with some pain.
Sometimes this WEAKNESS indicates the
need of glasses rightly adapted to the
person, and in other cases the true REM
edy is to massage the eye and its sur
roundings as faras may be with the hand
